Prostration provides health benefits by discharging electromagnetic waves from the body. A non-Muslim scientist discovered that putting one's forehead on the ground allows the body to discharge positive electromagnetic charges that can cause headaches, discomfort, and pain. Placing the forehead on the ground during prostration in prayer provides the most effective way to ground these electrical signals, similar to grounding buildings. Prostrating with the forehead on the sand while facing Mecca is the ideal position, as Mecca is located at the center of the Earth's electromagnetic field. While Muslims prostrate to obey God, there are also physical and health reasons supported by science.
